I'm pleased Lucy Powell has been elected.
But Labour party members and MPs need to wonder why turnout was only 16.6%
#ukpolitics -
<Breathes a small sigh of relief> that #LucyPowell not #TERF #Phillipson was chosen by #Labour members... Makes me hope that #transphobic #Starmer might be coming to the end of his leadership.
Let's hope Powell sticks to her word to demand a parliamentary debate on single sex spaces...
...but maybe I'm too hopeful?

"If Ms Powell does emerge victorious, the result is likely to be seen as a rebuke to Sir Keir Starmer’s leadership from Labour members, more than half of whom now believe the party is heading in the wrong direction."
Cool.
I believe of the two in the contest she's the one who is not a TERF?https://www.itv.com/news/2025-10-24/powell-expected-to-be-named-labours-new-deputy-leader

The problem in every case is Starmer. One poor decision after another, but sure, it's the Women who are the problem....

But Starmer doesn't want our dirty left wing votes and we got that message loud and clear.
We judge your Party on it's actions, not it's endless, endless words....yawn....
